Resource Tycoon Reborn

As the saying goes, good fortune never comes in pairs and misfortunes never come singly! After lunch, news came from Su Huandong. As Fang Mingyuan had guessed, Seaburg Steel Group Company had signed a contract with BHP Billiton Group Company the day before yesterday, but it was not officially announced to the public.

, saying that it will not be announced to the public until the end of the iron ore price negotiations in 2008. Regarding this, Fang Mingyuan could only lament and be speechless. How could BHP Billiton not take advantage of such a good "cannonball"? By then, the news would have been leaked.

What can Haibao Steel Group do with the rumor? The secret agreement can only be concealed if the rumor leaks out and causes substantial damage to both parties, and there will still be considerable risks involved.

Part of it will be leaked in advance, otherwise, how can there be that old saying - there is no airtight wall in the world! What's more, for BHP Billiton Group Company, it will be of great benefit to reveal the matter of this contract.

No harm!

Of course, Su Huandong was quite annoyed with this inappropriate behavior by the management of Haibao Steel Group Company, but how to deal with it could not be done in a moment. Fang Mingyuan had no intention of worrying about it at this time. All his thoughts were focused on

How to minimize the negative impact of this matter as much as possible. It's just that this matter involves too many aspects, and many of his ideas had to be aborted because of the huge impact.

It troubled him greatly. This made him a little absent-minded when he went to Mr. Zheng's place at night. Even Mr. Zheng could see it. However, after learning the specific content, Mr. Zheng couldn't help but smile bitterly and be speechless.

In the next few days, Fang Mingyuan stayed in Hong Kong to deal with the affairs of Kuok Shipping Group Company and Hong Kong Kumho Film Group Company. Although Qiu Xia handled most of the matters for him, there were still some matters after all.

Things need to be handled by him personally.

On January 23, good news came from Japan. Through the efforts of Oriichi Miyamoto, the film adaptation rights of "Legend of the Galaxy Heroes" have been won. This means that Hong Kong Kumho Film Group Company will

There is no copyright obstacle to bringing "The Legend of the Galactic Heroes" to the big screen. Moreover, the author Yoshiki Tanaka expressed his willingness to help Hong Kong Kumho Film Group Company with the adaptation work. This news was reported by Japanese media.

It has attracted great attention from movie fans in Japan.

On January 24, the Australian media suddenly broke the news that BHP Billiton Group Company had signed a ten-year iron ore trade agreement with Seaburg Steel Group Company! This news immediately caused a sensation in the global industry.

.

"Bang!" Fang Mingyuan threw the newspaper in his hand on the table angrily. He knew this would be the result! How could BHP Billiton Group Company not use such a good hand? In this way, it would raise the price.

Its own stock price can also attack its negotiating opponents and suppress its own competitors, killing three birds with one stone!

He has received news from Japan that the contract between BHP Billiton Group Company and Haibao Steel Group Company has been widely reported by the Japanese media and has caused a wave of dissatisfaction with Haibao Steel Group Co., Ltd. and Huaxia Steel Enterprises in the Japanese steel industry.

, believed that in the 2008 iron ore price negotiations, Haibao Steel Group was suspected of abusing Nippon Steel's promise not to sign the contract before China! A small number of people have publicly claimed that Nippon Steel

He should complete the iron ore price negotiations with the three major mining companies as soon as possible regardless of the negotiation process of the Seaburg Steel Group Company to avoid damage to his interests. Moreover, he believes that with the further concentrated coverage of this incident by the media,

There will be more and more Japanese people who hold this view.

When the situation reaches a certain level, Nippon Steel Corporation will comply with "public opinion" and reach an agreement with Brazil's Vale, thus becoming the first Asian steel company to reach an agreement with the three major mining companies. By then, the Seaburg Steel Group

The company can only "helplessly" accept this result.

Fang Mingyuan tapped the table. If his little butterfly did not change history excessively, then the matter is not over yet. Haibao Steel Group Company probably did not expect that according to the iron ore pricing mechanism, Nippon Steel Corporation

After reaching an agreement with Brazil's Vale, BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto should also accept this price. However, due to the persistence of BHP and Rio Tinto, the result is that Seaburg Steel Group has to continue to negotiate with them.

, thus ultimately destroying the original iron ore pricing mechanism, and a "second price" emerged, which later made the Brazilian Vale Company strongly dissatisfied and requested to pay for sea freight at the end of the year. This result

It is the iron ore price negotiation mechanism that has been implemented for many years that has cracks!

Whether the current iron ore price negotiation mechanism is good or bad is hard to say. Fang Mingyuan can't say, but he still believes that a relatively stable price will have a positive significance for the development of the domestic steel industry. If it is like the price of oil,

The ups and downs are a big trouble for domestic steel companies that have low profit margins and are not good at locking in profits through financial means. In fact, in the final analysis, the fundamental reason for destroying this pricing mechanism is China’s large number of

The existence of spot trading.

In the past few years, the spot trade price of iron ore has always exceeded the current price of Changxie mine. In order to pursue higher profits, the three major mining companies naturally hope to abandon the Changxie mine mechanism. And the reason why iron ore appears

The price of iron ore spot trade always exceeds the Changxie ore price. Basically, it is because a large number of private enterprises cannot purchase iron ore at the Changxie ore price, because according to national policies, they are not qualified!

Private enterprises that are not qualified to sign a long-term mining agreement but need overseas iron ore can only go to the market to purchase spot iron ore. As a result, the spot price of iron ore is pushed up. If no changes are made, this will be a dead end.

Cycle! The reason why Fang Mingyuan established Huasheng Group Company is that he hopes to gather the needs of private enterprises for overseas iron ore into one voice and one company for external procurement!

However, since the establishment of Huasheng Group Company, the number of agents purchasing overseas iron ore has increased from the original 18 steel companies to 24 steel companies. Since the agency purchasing rights of most companies have been from 2009

Since the beginning of the year, he is currently only responsible for the overseas iron ore procurement of Liaoning Iron and Steel Group Company, Jingcheng Iron and Steel Group Company, Guangyao Iron and Steel Group Company, and Nanjing Iron and Steel Group Company, but the theoretical purchase amount has reached 180 million

tons of iron ore, becoming the largest agency company for overseas procurement of domestic iron ore! Of course, at present, this title can only be said to be theoretical!

"Grandpa Su, I think that this behavior of Haibao Steel Group must be severely punished! Yes, although the contract cannot be canceled, we are not willing to pay the huge liquidated damages, which will also damage the reputation of Huaxia Steel Enterprises in the world.

, but the management of Haibao Steel Group Co., Ltd., who worked hard to promote this matter, must be dealt with! And the insiders of the China Iron and Steel Industry Association must be dealt with. I don’t believe that with their IQ, they can’t understand.

If you sign such a contract at this time, what will happen if it is revealed!" Fang Mingyuan said categorically, "Don't say that you didn't expect that the BHP Billiton Group would leak the news. They are not newbies in the mall.

If they don't know how to be wary of intrigues, what qualifications do they have to sit in that seat? Over the years, there have been too many examples of our domestic companies being deceived by overseas companies until they lose their underwear? Why do they believe that BHP Billiton Group Company will keep their secrets?

?What strength do they have to ask BHP Billiton Group Company to give them an explanation on this matter?"

"Yes, yes, you are right. What I mean is that they must pay a heavy price for this. Otherwise, if they do this in the future and ignore the overall situation, there will be more trouble! I think, if it is possible,

Changing the negotiator from Haibao Steel Group Company to another company will be more intimidating and better able to express our attitude! It is also a way to prevent Japan from signing additional contracts with the three major mining companies!" Fang Mingyuan said.

"Hmm... um... um, I will also communicate with Mitsui & Co., Ltd. and Nippon Steel Corporation, and I plan to go to Brazil to talk with Brazilian Vale to see if there can be any breakthrough.

"Fang Mingyuan said, "The faster you act, the easier it will be for me to talk. The faster, the better, and the clearer your attitude will be."

"You said... Fang Jun's woman in Japan wants to see me?" Yushan Jingwei looked through the information in his hand and casually asked Iwata Masao, "Did you say something?"

"No, she only said that she had important matters to meet with the president and convey them in person." Masao Iwata replied, "She hopes that the sooner the better!"

"Well... the sooner the better, haha, I'm probably here for the signing of the iron ore purchase order between Haibao Steel Group Company and BHP Billiton Group Company." Yushan did not put down the information in his hand, and pondered for a moment before saying,

"Have our negotiations to acquire 20% of Haiping Mining Company's equity reached a critical stage? Where are we stuck now?"

Masao Iwata replied: "Fang Jun hopes to obtain the authorization of two important technologies from Nippon Steel Corporation. We believe that in this case, our investment has obviously exceeded the price of Haiping Mining Company's equity. Mr. Chairman, I personally think that,

We should complete this negotiation as soon as possible. It can be said that the increase in iron ore prices this year is a foregone conclusion, and it is likely to be a substantial increase. Once the iron ore price is determined, I am worried that Haiping Mining Company will have another setback."
